Strong Homotopy Lie Algebras, Generalized Nahm Equations and Multiple M2-branes

open access: yes, 2009
We review various generalizations of the notion of Lie algebras, in particular those appearing in the recently proposed Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson model, and study their interrelations.

Optimal Job Design and Information Elicitation

open access: yesThe RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When managers rely on their subordinates for local information but cannot commit to how such information is used, the incentives for effort and information elicitation become intertwined. This incentive problem influences the firm's job design decision, that is, whether to assign all tasks in a job to one worker (“individual assignment”) or ...

Cartan Calculus for Hopf Algebras and Quantum Groups

open access: yes, 1993
A generalization of the differential geometry of forms and vector fields to the case of quantum Lie algebras is given. In an abstract formulation that incorporates many existing examples of differential geometry on quantum groups, we combine an exterior ...

Food, Affluence and the Consumption Basket*

open access: yesEconomic Papers: A journal of applied economics and policy, EarlyView.
There are significant disparities across nations in incomes and spending. For example, consumers in the poorest countries spend more than half of their income on food, while in the richest, this is one‐tenth or less. We use data from the International Comparison Program for 176 countries to estimate cross‐country demand equations focusing on food and ...

Gauge field theories: various mathematical approaches

open access: yes, 2014
This paper presents relevant modern mathematical formulations for (classical) gauge field theories, namely, ordinary differential geometry, noncommutative geometry, and transitive Lie algebroids.

Addressing ecological challenges from a quantum computing perspective

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract With increased access to data and the advent of computers, the use of statistical tools and numerical simulations is becoming commonplace for ecologists. These approaches help improve our understanding of ecological phenomena and their underlying mechanisms in increasingly complex environments.

Reviewing fast or slow: A theory of summary reversal in the judicial hierarchy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Appellate courts with discretionary dockets have multiple ways to review lower courts. We develop a formal model that evaluates the trade‐offs between “full review”—which features full briefing, oral arguments, and signed opinions—versus “quick review,” where a higher court can summarily reverse a lower court. We show that having the option of
